Oldyeller's latest Manna Menu may be just what you want for your new OS. It shows all of your resources in one convenient menu and even has the capability of installing Wine along with the two best free Windows Bible programs, theWord and Bible Analyzer.

Barry's latest Precise is my preferred OS to use with the Manna Menu since it can install Xiphos. Xiphos does have some additional extras such as maps and different commentaries available. These can be installed easily with Bibletime's Bookshelf Manager. Of course when Xiphos is used Bibletime should also be installed since it's Bookshelf Manager is much better than Xiphos's Module Manager.

Give it a try. Also, oldyeller would like to have your comments posted on the Manna Menu thread. Thank you oldyeller.

Hi Jim,

first off is THANK YOU for starting this thread on

"HOWTO set up your own custom Bible study operating system"

About e-sword; I have notice on racy 5.5 it wants to close when using kjv+ trying to use strongs viewing. If this makes since. Also I have notice that on slacko 5.5 non-pae wine does not work so well, at least with the bibleprograms.


precise by Barryk and pemasu it works just fine. Will be doing a major upgrade around the end of April on manna.pet and the 2 Manna OS.

Again thanks Jim for putting all of this information up here so we all can enjoy the Word of God to the fullest


Cheers

TaZoC has done it again. His latest distribution really excels and works great as a base for your Bible study.

You need to download the Bibletime sfs from his website, however, he has included an installer for theWord. The windows programs Bible Analyzer and eSword also work fine, however you must first either start Wine or install theWord which will also start Wine. Also install the Bible Analyzer pet and eSword pet so that they appear properly in the menu.

Those with 64bit hardware will really enjoy this distribution. I prefer his Mariner distribution with the KDE desktop.
